It's been known for sometime that Left 4 Dead 2's biggest and baddest new feature will be the inclusion of melee weapons. We've heard numbers tossed around as to just how many - but now we know for sure and now we know exactly what. Joystiq managed to scoop it from Valve during this year's PAX 2009 and we'll be seeing 10 weapons in total.

Our first audio interview with Bioware was with the lead writer for Mass Effect 2, but Bioware has another game coming out before it this fall that arguably has the potential to be bigger, it's called Dragon Age Origins. Claimed to be a return to the roots of Bioware's Baldur's Gate series, Dragon Age Origins has that classic RPG feel in a fantasy world.

Konami has announced that Contra Rebirth is now available on Nintendo's WiiWare service for 1000 Waggle Points. The game features brand new graphics and art as well as two player local co-op play that made Contra so popular. Once again you'll be tasked with saving planet Earth and blowing up everything you see on the screen.

Our friends over at Colony of Gamers managed to steal Brink's Lead Designer, Richard Ham, for some candid questions about the upcoming 8 player co-op title. Richard was deeply involved with Fable 2 while at Lionhead, which are always responsible for a deep gameplay experience.

We had the pleasure of meeting Josh Bear and Mike Henry of Twisted Pixel at PAX, easily one of the finer moments of the expo. Jason once again lead the introductions, at which point I blurted, "My wife won't let me play anything else!", regarding runaway hit 'Splosion Man (pun intended).

The latest Tekken 6 trailer shows off the game's two player co-op campaign mode. There's something special about this trailer though, as I'm sure you can already determine from the screenshot above. The video shows Yoshimitsu fighting in the Cardboard Tube Samurai outfit made famous by the Penny-Arcade character which is unlockable in the game.
